Happy Wishes

Good Morning! 

If you happen to be out and about today and see my Mom, don't forget to wish her a Happy 86th Birthday!  Isn't that the best???

My card will be entered into the Challenges at CAS-ual Fridays, Birthday Girl and at Simon Says Wednesday, Flowers.

 
I used the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps set Wonderful Words to create my card.  I masked off the sentiment and chose to use just the words not the large ampersand that is also on the stamp.  One stamped flower colored with Copic Markers.  The other flower I made into a chipboard accent.  Stamped the image on to Designer Paper and die cut it out using a Spellbinders Standard Circle die.  I also die cut 3 more circles out of thick heavy duty card stock, it may be #140, then I glued them all together and topped it with the stamped flower. 

 
Created a small tag using a Sizzix Tags And Labels die.  Added Jute Twine and my chipboard accent as well as 2 enamel dots for accents and a wee bit of the Designer Paper.  Black and White Gingham ribbon.  A thin black ribbon to the left, covering the different designs on the paper. This is a double sided piece of Designer Paper, that small polka dot print is on the other side.  This side shows you the 2 prints together, the polka dot is just a strip along the paper so you can see the 2 together, but I love how it looks against the flourish print so I used it.  Adhesive pearl flourish and several smaller ones and my card was complete.  If you look at the piece of Designer Paper I used as an inside accent, you will l see I did the same thing, using the side with both prints.  Cute!
 
Thanks for stopping by.....we have cake!!!
 
Enjoy~~

  1. Cake? I'm in! Your bright red birthday card is a party all by itself. The bandana pattern and the black accents and flower really make a statement. The sentiment says it all for a special birthday for a special Mom. Tell her I wish her a happy day. I sent a card a bit early. I know that you will make her day great.

  2. Barbara's right, the card is a party by itself. I love the red, white, black combo. The black flourish on the flourish print paper is perfect as well as the gingham ribbon. Great idea to use both sides of the dp together. Happy birthday to Mom.
